CITY OF BOSTON

CURBSIDE FOOD WASTE COLLECTION

In August 2022, the City of Boston launched a free, curbside food waste collection service for residents! This program has seen a great response, and with limited enrollment, filled up for year one within the first few weeks. Sign up for the waitlist below so that you are able to join during the next open enrollment period in Summer 2023. To participate, residents must live in buildings with 6 units or less.

NEXT ENROLLMENT PERIOD: SUMMER 2023

FREE for residents who opt-in! Enrollment is limited.
WEEKLY service on trash day: Recycle all of your food scraps, paper towels, and other compostable items.
Instead of wasting them, turn your food scraps into CLEAN ENERGY and nutrient-rich COMPOST!
